Mode/Off

Pump has been in Standby Mode for longer than 5 

minutes or pump has no electrical supply

The TapBoost power supply unit has a green LED which will illuminate when there 

is power to the supply unit.
The TapBoost pump is equipped with a blue LED to indicate its current status. 

Figure 9 below shows the location of the LED. When in ‘

Standby Mode

’ (power to 

the pump but outlet closed so therefore not boosting) the LED will remain solid 

for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the LED will turn off so as not to cause a nuisance, 

however the pump will remain in ‘

Standby Mode

’.

When an outlet is opened and water begins to flow, TapBoost will begin boosting 

the flow and the LED will fast flash to indicate ‘

Boosting Mode

’. If the outlet is 

closed, TapBoost will enter ‘

Standby Mode

’ where the LED will remain solid for 5 

minutes as described above. 
TapBoost intelligently monitors the flow of water, if the flow reaches 11 lpm 

or more it will enter ‘

Idle Mode’

. This ensures the boosted output flow does not 

exceed 12 lpm, complying with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 

1999. ‘

Idle Mode

’ is indicated by a slow pulsing blue LED. The pump is continuing 

to monitor the flow but will not provide any additional boost. If the flow drops 

below 11 lpm, the pump will again switch to ‘

Boosting Mode

’ and this will be 

indicated by a fast flashing blue LED.
